Candida albicans is a thin-walled, gram-positive, capsule-less yeast of oval to round shape with a diploid chromosome set. From:Applied Mycology and Biotechnology,2004 Also in subject areas: Agricultural and Biological Sciences Engineering
Candida albicans is one of the predominant fungal species that colonizes the mucosal surfaces of most humans as a harmless member of the normal microbiota (1, 2). However, under certain circumstances, C. albicans can become pathogenic and cause diseases ranging from common superficial to severe sy...
albicans. Biochemical and molecular identification of the bacterial isolate (bac 3) Due to the significant antagonistic activity of Bac 3 iso- late it was chosen for further experimentations. The Gram stain was carried out to detect the shape, arrange- ment, and type of bacterial cells....
Candida albicans is the most common cause of fungal sepsis. Inhibition of inflammasome activity confers resistance to polymicrobial and LPS-induced sepsis; however, inflammasome signaling appears to protect against C. albicans infection, so inflammasome

Thus, these results indicate that, in mixed biofilms, the competence for iron uptake determines the nature and dynamics of the interaction. Figure 5 Effects of iron on P. aeruginosa (a) and C. albicans (b) growth. Monocultures (Mon) and cocultures (Coc). Growth was determined after 24 ...

A genus of yeast fungi found in nature; a few species are isolated from the skin, feces, and vaginal and pharyngeal tissue, but the gastrointestinal tract is the primary source of the single most important species, C. albicans. [L.candidus,dazzling white] ...
